It has a 13-megapixel rear camera with dual-tone LED flash, optical image stabilization and a 8-megapixel front-facing camera with soft LED flash for capturing better selfies. It has a uni-body metal finish. It also has hybrid dual SIM support and comes with highly sensitive Fingerprint Sense 2.0 fingerprint sensor on the back of the smartphone.
